this layer, selections/invert hit delet on your keyboard. Select none. delete original square layer.

element 101 (the palm tree), resize by 80% and place to the right.
paste element 37(the sand) as a new layer under your tube,
element 93 resize by 30% move to the right of the tag, duplicate
mirror.

go back to the sand layer, duplicate and move above layer 93 (the piece of wood)
and mirror image. and bring down just a little under your word art layer.
add drop shadow of your choice to these two layers.
----------------------------------
see my tag for placements of elements. or go your own way its up to you :)

 

element 21 resize by 70% and move to the right over the wood layer there.
duplicate ,mirror
element 13(the little crab) resize by 20% and put on top of right piece of wood.
element 99, resize by 40% mirror and place to the left under the word art.
element 96 resize by 30% place under word art layer.
element 10 resize by 15% or more and place over to the right.
element 98 resize by 15% place over sand.
element 15 resize by 15%. move under word art.
element 105 resize by 50%, rotate to the left 90 degrees
use your deform tool to move it back to the right and line up with
wood , add drop shadow of choice, duplicate and mirror.

at this point some of the mask was hanging under the tag so i used
my selections tool and deleted the excess of both mask layers.

 

Thats it, you can now add any other elements you like, your copyright info
and name to your tag resize and save.
